fAIl OF THE 1V0RTI1
Three Sc&dred Tbossacd Merc.
Father Abraham is after us for Three
Hundred Thousand More. Mothers and
Wives, gt your sons and husbands ready,
for if they do not volunteer they will be
drafted in January. Men, get your "green
backs" ready if yoo can when the next
Congress meets the three hundred dollar
exemption clause will be raised to one thou
sand at least, so that onlyUhe rich can es
cape service. We told the people that this
would be the result of the re-election of
Gov. Cu&TiN, but we really did not think
that Abe would have the temerity to stick
it on quite so quickly.
We print the proclamation read it. The
folly and failure of the draft is admitted in
the call foi volunteers. It isa heart rending
fact that since the commencement of the
draft more soldiers have been killed, wound
ed, taken prisoners and died of disease than
have been raised by the draft!! So that
when the conscripts reach the army it will
not be as strong as when they were drafted.
Yet this tyrannical and cruel legislation has
been sanctioned and approved by an appa
rent majority of the people of thia State !
If they want that sort of governing they are
entided to have it, but for oor part we shall
ever object to if and voie against it.
Drafting will undoubtedly continue until
the entire enrolment is exhausteJ, with a
6trong probability that the next Congress
will require all under sixty to be enroled.
So much for sustaining the Republican par
ty. Had Pennsylvania been taken out of
their possession, they would not have dared
to attempt such things. As it is, they say
their policy has been approved by a ma
jority of the people and good faith therefore
requires them to pursue it.
Tolantcerin
If any Democratic press should now, in
view of the last Proclamation, announce
that the success of their party in the coming
pjesidential election was of much greater
importance than winning victories in the
fitjtd, or that Democrats had better remain
to put down the unarmed foes of the Gov
ernment at home jhan the armed enemy
abroad, we should doubtless hear, in' no
whispering tones, cries of "Treason !''
"Away with the traitor !" etc. Yet why
shoulJ such expressions be more treasona
ble by the Democratic than by the Republi
can party ? Why is it permissible for the
Republican party, on that ground, to send
men home from the army and not permissi
ble for the Democrats to retain men from
going to the army 1 Why is it right for Re
publican) to permit Meade's army and
Washington to be endangered and Penn
sylvania menaced, and wrong for Demo
crats to refuse their arms to rivet on their
chainsl The object of both is the same
viz., votes. But the Republican plan cuts
bo'h ways ; for, having got the Republican
and Democratic soldiers, the former is al
lowed to come home and vote, whilst the
latter is prevented. Each, in such case as
this, gives two votes to the Republicans
the vote they put in the box, and the vote
they keep out of the box. It creates Re-,
publican majorities by increasing their own
and afthe same time diminishing Demo
cratic ballot. When the rare case happens
of a Republican voter going to the wars, his
party lose nothinz, because he comes back
to vote. When a Democratic soldier goes,
his party loses bis vote.
In view of these obvious truths, which
cannot but have their effect opon the volun
teering of the Democracy, what is the plain
duty of the Administration? It is at once
to give the country an assurance that at no
future election will soldiers be permitted to
leave their regiments for voting purposes,
or that, ii any are allowed to go, no selec
tion shall be made of friends of the Admin
istraiion, but that all shall be treated alike
If this be done if the Democracy of the
country can have any assurance that their
absence from election, fighting their coun
try's battles, shall not be taken advantage
of as a means of defrauding their friends
and putting over them rulers that they de
test, we doubt not that they will answer, as
they have hitherto too confidingly done, to
the call of the President. Age.
Absent from the Army.
The following remarks of the Philadel
phia Ledge of Thursday, are to the point,
and will apply equally as well in this local
ity as in the cities. That paper says :
The late call for three hundred thousand
more men to supply the places of those
whose terms of service re about to expire,
is no doubt justified by the necessities of
the Government. But if one were to form
his judgment on the object from the large
number of officers ar,d privates who are
absent Irom the army on furloughs, it would
not be unreasonable to conclcde that the
country has more soldiers than it can use
fully employ. This city seems to be full of
officers and privates who apparently have
no other business here than to promenade
the streets and lounge- in hotels and bar
rooms. Our exchanges satisfy us that Phil
adelphia is not singular in this respect.
Tbe New York Journal of Commerce says
that :iha number of officers who are absent
on furloughs connot easily be estima
ted, bat it must te something prodigious,
jndging from the crowds of them who over
flow the hotels and make op a larae per
centage of the pedestrains of Broadwayr
And yet we should suppose that at no
period of the war was the presence of every
available officer and soldier in .the field
more imperatively required than just at this
time. Why, then, are not all skulkers re
called at once, tinder penalty ol disgracefol
dismissal if they do not promptly rejoin
their respective regiments ? They are paid
to render military doty in front of the ene
my, not to enjoy themselves in luxurious
idleness in our cities. The truancy of twenty
or. thirty thousand able bodied men just now
might cost the nation a disastrous defeat,
and yet it is probable quite that number ol
able tad ied privates and officers are away
from their posts, oo leaves of absence, at
the moment when the Government - may
most need their services. The evil calls
for a reform.
Ths Election T&e Besult.
The election is over the returns ure
mostly in to the astonishment ol every
body who ' did not well understand the
machinations of the Republicans, and to the
deep regret pi every man who knows the
interests of and loves his country, Governor
Ccrtiv is re-elected ! We regard it as the
greatest calamity that has ever befel i.he
people of Pennsylvania, and if three years
hence he does not go out of office detested
by almost every human being in the State
we will never again attempt to form orgive
an opinion on public affairs. So far, mate
rial taxation and oppression have been
kept in abeyance, for prudential selfish rea
sons. They can be withheld no longer, but
will be increased incalculably. If the peo
ple will it and bear it, all well let the ma
jority rule.
Ye, let the majority (whether real or ap
parent) rule. If the voie in this State lor
Governor is to be regarded as a valid one,
thn all the acts of President Lincoln, of
his Secretaries, and of Gov. CcRTtN, and all
their declarations of intentions, stand ap
proved and endorsed then these men ,,are
advised by competent authority to go on and
do such things as they have been doing, to
conduct all Governmental business in that
way to squander, to pile up National and
State debts, to bestow private fortunes, to
tax and to draft. The people have willed it
and we say to all Democrats, submit to their
verdict look only to the ballot-box lor re
dress. The tyrant is coming, his approach
is rapid in the mean lime be industrious,
frugal, moral and patriotic, husband all
your means for yon will want them, belp
the poor and lock up no green-hacks ! That
is our advice.
How the election was carried for Cchtin
is explained to some extent by extracts
which we republish from other papers, and
will be the subject of future discussion
Were we to characterise it, we might be
accused of using harsh terms. But look t

never time works wonderlul changes,
and there is yet a balm in Gilead, a God in
Israel.
The battle is literally a drawn one. Two
years ago the Democrats had only six Sena
tors, now they have sixteen. At the last
session the Republicans had a rnajor'ny of
two-thirds in the Senate,now they have only
one of a majority ! The house is practical
ly balanced, and the Republican Governor
is barely elected with all the frauds of the
powerful officials sustaining him. Be of
good courage, the Democracy may yei save
the Slate and the Nation.
What ras Endorsed.
The Evening Bulletin, the organ of the
Lincoln administration proclaims that the
people in the election cf Cunin, have "de
cided in lavor of the war;" in favor of "the
Emancipation Proclamation;" the Conscrip
tion Act and the suspension of the habeas
corpus. Tr.es acts it says : "Pennsylvania
declares in thunder tones that they were
right and jast." The Emancipation Proc
lamation, which turns millions of Macks
from their natural fields of labor to be
thrown on the community to compels with
the white workingrnen or else to be suppor
ted by him in taxes. The arming of black
regiments which is the subtile move of the
Abolitionists to introduce negro equality in
civil life by making the negro the equal of
the while soldier in the army. The draft,
the conscription, which drags a man wil
ling or unwilling into the army if he is too
poor to pay S300, and lastly the suspension
of the habeas corpns, which allows any
one of Lincoln's minions to arrest the free
born citizen and thrust him into a dungeon
at the will and pleasure of the sovereign at
Washington. All these beneficent meas
ures to the poor man have been endorsed
the Bulletin says by the late election. Is
this the feast to which yoo were invited
yoo weak-kneed ones who went over and
voted for your master Curtin ? When the
negro ask for an equality of civil rights,
when the conscription seizes yon or when
yoo are seized for too free an expression of
opinion against Lincoln's acts, don't com
plain, lor, by your vote for Curtin, the Bul
letin says you have endorsed every noe of
these measures Danville Intelligencer.
Just what the rebels Asked.

Their presses have been, for a Ion;; lime,
saying, "keep down Vallandigham and his
party in the North give us, rather, men
like Tbaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner;
they curse the Union and despise it, and so
do we."
Thus the Abolitionists of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, have done just what thet rebels
asked, and we have no doubt that the elec

satisfaction to-day, to Jeff. Davis & Co., 'in

CO n M U Ji 1 C 4TED.
OnANGfc.vri.LE, Oct. 281863.
Mr. Editor: It appears that, through in
trigue, and by the influence of money, the
democratic par'y has been defeated in the
late election lor State officers ; but Colum
bia county is still O. K. And we have rea
son to rejoice over the election of our Rep
resenutives, as well as the whole County
Ticket. It is true "e had no opposition to
our County Ticket except for Proihonotary.
And here permit me to digress a little, in
order to explain how this opposi'ion was
gotten up.
Just on the eve of the election it entered
into the brain of a certain quark Doutor, of
onr village, that the pood people of Colum
bia county, and especially of this neighbor
hood, did not wish to be hnmbnged any
longer by him as a Doctor He conceived
the idea that he would try once more to get
an office of profit; but as he did not succeed
years ago in a Stale office, he thought he
would stoop a little, and try a county office
This idea was soon communicated to a
number of bis Abolition allies. They con
sulted upon the matter, and agreed to call
a Convention. Messengers were sent thro'
the whole village and vicinity, evert in the
direction of Mount Pieasant ; when !o, and
behold ! an assembly of Tanners, Saddlers',
Medical and Political Students, Loafers,
would-be-gentlemen, renegade Democrats,
and it may be, Political Preachers and Pro
fessors, oil of Abolition proclivities, met in
Convention, and befan to counsel tosether.
Alter a good deal of sharp contention, in
relerence to the Doctor's qualifications, for
the office ol Prothonotary, the Convention
resolved; that, inasmuch as the Doctor had
not brain enough to balance his corporeal
dimensions, he would not be an available
candidate.
At this stage of the proceedings some
considerable number, who have strong de
sires for clerkships, entered the room, and
were at once admitted to beats in the con
vention. The above resolution made the Doctor
very wrothy, and he declared he would
secede, and the conseqneoce would tie just
what it was when the South seceded Irom
the Charleston Convention, to wit, ihe Abo
lition party would be broken up. B it fear
ing such a great catastrophe, some one,
(perhaps a preacher of peaceatid good-will
toward men) advanced the idea that the
nominee hou!d be a War Democrat. This
cooled off the Doctor a little, and lie at once
begged leave to present Ihe name ol
EiwarJ Bloom, of Centre township, lor
nomination, and in a very learned argu
ment impressed it upon the Convention
that Mr. Hloom woul I be just the man that
would suit the Abolition party, and he was
unanimously nominated. The Convention
gave three cheers for the nominee.
On motion the Convention adjourned.
Dispatches were sent in all directions, evci
lo Ml. Pieasant, and o i t!e day ol election
great efforts were j.ut for'h, for the election
of their candidate but they were sliame
telly defeated. And row, of C'iursr, they
will be obliged to call on Shoddy Andy lor
clerkship;., contracts, &e , or gf to W'e-t
Point; but they shopld te careiol that both
d irs are open, so that they ca.i run straight
through, and never stop until they reach

pointment on some General's stall (perhaps
with the rank ol Captain) in order to show
their patriotism Or seek to be Governor

THE LATEST WARNEWS.
From Ihe Army of the Potomac The Rebels
Cross the Rappahannock on Monday.
Washington, Oct. 22. Late accounts re
ceived from the army of the Potomac fay,
that it . has been ascertained that some oi
the rebel infantry were engaged with Kil
patrick's cavalry near Buckland Mills, on
Monday lat. A brigade of rebel cavalry,
shaipnhooers, dismounted, and partially
concea'ed. deluded our cavalry into the
belief that they were attacked by infantry.
Lee's army, with the exception ol Stewart's
cavalry, crossed the Rappahannock on
Monday at Rappahannock Station. Gen'l
Stuart lell back on the river on Tnesday,
stopping in Warrenton, through which he
passed, although he admitted that his men
had not enjoyed a meal fur 24 hours.
Otficers ol Lee's army stated that their
rapid retreat a caused by a destitution of
provisions. Their bridge over the Rapidan
had been carried away by the rise in the
river caused by the storm of Thursday riight
and Lee laid a pontoon bridge, over which
he crossed his army to the south side of the
river.
It is believed that their is no consider
able rebel force now north of the Rapidan,
unless it be a portion of Stuart's cavalry,
with his artillery.
It w.is currently ramored by the rebel
oflicprs, that having drivpn General Meade
back towards Washington, and destroyed a
portion of the Orange and Alexandria Kail
road, either Hill's or Eiwell's corps would
now be immediately dispatched to the as
sistance of Brai2. This report is strength
ened by previous rumors that one of these
corps was about to start thilher before the
Iat movement began.
The rebel papers say that Lee captured
10,000 ol our troops and a full battery, and
a Jarpe number ol wasons during his late
campaign. It is sufficient to remark that
the official report contradicts this statement,
excepting, perhaps, a few prisoners.
Ihe Warrenton Railroad has not been
dis'urbed by the enemy. We now hold the
country east o? the Rappahannock. There
are no signs of a battle.
Oct. 24 There are now no sutlers with
the army of thr Potomac, they having dur
ins the late campaign been ordered to the
rear, and the restriction has not yet been
removed. All the necessary supplies for
the otficers and soldiers have, however,
been promptly supplied by Colonel Clarke,
Chief Commissary of that army, which has
been accompanied in all i's changes by this
efficient officer. There was nothina posj.
lively known up to noon yesterday of Lee's
present whereabouts.
The general impression is that General
Meads has been superseded in the com
mand of the Army of the Potomac by Gen.
John Sedgwick. Gen. Ssdgwick, a native

below Vicksburir, with the Wirt Adams
rebel cavalry, numbering 200. Onr loss was
fifteen killed and wounded. The rebels
were driven beyond Port Gibson.
A Vicksbura letter, dated the 13th, say
we shall in all probability have a Provision
al Government in Mississipi in two or three
weeks. Coi. Maikland, of Kentucky, is
spoken of as most likely to fill the Guber
natorial chair. The letter also adds ihat
important movements are on the 'api, and
in two weeks there will be no armed foe on
the soil of Mississippi.

Daring Burglary. Some burglars enter
ed the office of Judge Alexander Jordan in
this place, on Wednesday night last, by
means of a sknleion key, and bored in-to
the safe so as to remove the lock. Tbsy
stole about twelve hundred dollars in cah
and two thousand dollars in Northern Cen
tral Railroad Bonds, belonging to Mrs. Jane
Wilson, together with some jewelry, an
overcoat and a pair of pants. The skeleton
key and a bottle of fih oil, supposed to
have been used for oiling their drill, were
left in the office. Northumberland Demo
crat. Its Cost, &c. The cost of the election
of Cunin, to the country and the taxpayers,
has been the lives of thousands ol while
freemen, and millions of property.
Bui what matiers all this to the Abolition
Leaguers ? Nothing. It gives them otfice
and plunder, and they are satisfied and re
joice, although they know that Curtin's
election only tends to push the country for
ward on the road to national ruin.
The draft took about 3,000 men and $600,
000 ont of the State of Maine.
